Georgetown: Disabled children at the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre in Carmichael Street, Georgetown, will soon have educational facilities at the institution with a brand new building.
Government has given the greenlight for the construction of a special needs building to the tune of $50M.
Currently, the centre has three classrooms and accommodates about 40 students, but with the new building, 60 students will be housed.
One of the main challenges the new building will alleviate is the students’ mobility around the centre.
The new, flat building will be outfitted with the necessary ramps, have a computer room and most importantly, the necessary facilities thereby allowing the students to be more independent and safe.
